PORTLAND, Ore. — A former Sweet Home city council member has gone viral after posting a video to TikTok claiming that he spotted a mythical giant in the Cascade foothills of Linn County on Oct. 23.
In the video, Sweet Home resident James Goble said that he was traveling along Quartzville Drive near the Green Peter Reservoir when saw a distinct rock formation open like a “door.” Peeking from behind the “door,” was a giant, the former government official said. The mountain “door” allegedly closed back up before he filmed the video about the sighting, which received more than 5 million views before he took the video down.

He's since made additional videos at the site with ridiculous claims, and entertaining ideas from wacky commenters. But not once does he go up to the door and get in close up. He discusses he found caves and paths. None of this is very unusual, but people who understand nothing about how geology and erosion works are grabbing attention with ludicrous claims. He even says that other people have seen similar mysterious things and people with special computers are studying the footage and he's been told to keep quite. Typical nonsense for attention. This is volcanic area - it's going to have weird landscapes.
